It sound to me like he's saying that didn't pay attention in kindergarten.

Here's a more complete quote:

"On November 25th, 1491
Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada
King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory
And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be
A day of Thanksgiving for all European Christians
.. Now listen, when you celebrate Thanksgiving
What you are actually celebratin
is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome
Who later, in league with Queen Isabella
sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain
to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity
These Moors, these black men and women
were from Baghdad, Turkey
And today, you eat the turkey, for your Thanksgiving day
as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys
Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers"

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope. In the United States, we recreate a feast that occurred in 1621. And where, exactly, is Baghdad, Turkey?

F in History
F in Geography
F in songwriting.

Is this a rap song? I hope so. I love to hear people that get their history lessons from rap songs. That's awesome.

I just found a copy of it on LimeWire and yes, yes it is.

It's also absolutely god awful.

F for taste in music.

Yeah, it is. Where did I ever say I got my history from rap songs? I was just wondering about this...not like I take everything in this song as fact. If I did, I wouldn't have made this post.

But anyways, the song is really good.

If a city/country ever existed, it exists now. It has to.

One time in second grade we outlined our hands to make turkeys and celebrate Thanksgiving.
